End-User Options - Classifieds: Mark Thread as "Sold"

If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, and consider Nominate for MOTM and Support Developer <<


What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Sold". It will add the prefix "SOLD" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread. If you run a classified forum for your members this will give you a way to let users add a Sold prefix when the item is gone. Admins and mods can using to make items sold as well.

This is a modification of code provided by Eric.

NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

Not sure what's wrong. Installed on vb 4.1.2 but when I test with a non-admin test account there are no prefixes selections available to mark a post SOLD. I've enabled every permission that I can think of but must be missing something somewhere

Works perfectly when I'm logged in as admin.

Have you selected the forums you want it to work on?

Also when you tested it was the thread created by the user id you were testing with? If it wasn't then it won't work since the user that created is the only one that can add the prefix. It would work with the admin since they have blanket permissions.

Does the prefix show up in the prefix's section in the admincp?

If so have you changed the user permissions in the prefix section?

[boodog]

Ok, I deleted the thread and started another one, and this time the Prefix option is working and enables SOLD. Not sure what I did but it's working

Really nice mod that fills a need for my forum. Thank you. Donation on the way.

Glad you got it to work and thank you very much for the donation. Glad I could fill that need for your forum as well.

is there anyway to change the SOLD prefix color?

Yes you can change the color. AdminCP --> Thread Prefix Manager --> Click on edit

Once you get to that point you will see some html code in the RICH Text section. You can change the code as you need.

Hope that helps.

Congrats venom on a very nice hack.

The only catch here is that this hack is interfering with the 'autopm on moderation' hack.
Before installing this hack, when manually closing any topic, the author would be notified by PM via the 'autopm' hack. After installation, though, this hack is preventing the notification from happening. Not sure you can or want to do anything about it, but I'd just thought I'd let you know.

I can take a look at it and see if I can find the issue. Of course the mod is made for the user to mark there stuff sold and once marked sold it closes the thread. So it might be more annoying if the autoPM did work. Just a thought on my part. Haven't used the autopm hack so will have to look at the code on that one to see if I see something.
